When Is Chin Augmentation Needed

If you think that your chin is small or "weak" , a chin implant is usually the best treatment. If your teeth fit together well, you cannot have your jaw moved forward. Even if you move the lower jaw forward, the chin will still be small in relation to the lips.

Check your profile while you are smiling compared to when you are relaxed. If the chin still looks small when you are smiling you definitely will benefit from a chin implant.

Chin Implant or entire jaw?

You are definitely a chin implant candidate. Usually you don't need the entire jaw unless you have bite problems like over or under bite. I think you would have a nice result with silicone chin implant.
